University of Iowa. Need I say more?
he starts the speech with "i'm a 6th generation iowan"... proud of where he's from and wants to stay there. i wouldn't do the same, but i can understand. and we know that with that ACT score he could have gone to a "better" school.
So what? I went to an ivy league and i dont judge people by their degrees. Go get a life.
He scored in 99th percentile in the ACT. Need I say more?
Haha ACT.
ZING!
University of Iowa I believe. I thought about posting this one, but you beat me to it.
This guy is unbelievably articulate and delivers great, humble and heartfelt speech.
pro homo.
fuck that was inspiring
Fez just outed himself as a Redditor...
(BTW, here's a second copy of
just posting it here because the one OP posted is a derivative and could get taken down at some later date - and future WSOers really should see this.)Anyway, Zach's speech is really awesome. It's just gushing with libertarian bad-assery.
Great speech ... this has gone viral. Seen it on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, now here.
This speech has been around for awhile. Guess when it hits the front page of Reddit you feel like you need to post it here.
Though the guy is clearly smart and very articulate, I think genius maybe a bit much.
Happy is hatin', every day. Yes, we saw it a while back because we pay attention happy, but not everyone can see everything right when it comes out :-p
The kid's got balls, props to him.
He is more polished than actual genius.
this is old.
He does say "you know" a few times. I'm just saying. I agree with the message but he isn't perfectly articulate.
Speaking in the common vernacular is sometimes the mark of a very audience-aware speaker. I think he was incredibly articulate, probably just as much as anyone can ever be.
good speech... ^ and +1 for A Posse Ad Esse explaining that valuable pubilc speaking tool... gives the audience a slap in the side of the head and says "keep listening..."
Good speech. Very basic vernacular. If you want to hear someone who is eloquent, listen to Alan Keyes.
Why do I care that he has gay parents? Why does this have to be some empowerment speech about gay parents instead of one guy just kicking ass?
That is exactly his point, he has gay parents and has been raised to be a fine young man. He is advocating for gay couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples.
Note: The woman in this thread was raised by heterosexual parents: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/im-not-even-sure-what-to-call-this
Meh
Why is this so popular?
Is it because of the speech's content? Because it sounds like regurgitated stuff that's frequently thrown around in the homosexual vs. hetero argument space.
The kid can speak well, but so can I and every other kid who puts effort into it. The kid scored in the 99th percentile on his ACT, but so did I and every other kid at my school.
The kid dresses horribly--3 button suit...really? Not to mention, that's a hideous shirt that he's wearing--you don't wear that shirt with a suit, you wear it without a tie to the club, if you decide to wear it at all. Not to mention, the kid needs to see a tailor, immediately.
And bottom line, the kid had high test scores, runs his own small businesses, and most importantly has the whole "diversity" thing going for him, so why did he end up at U of Iowa?
+1 with a fucking exclamation point
Best and most sensible comment in this thread.
You can't expect much sartorially out of someone in Iowa, frankly. It's a completely different ballgame. Anyone who sees him is probably amazed at how 'professional' he looks. In his context, he is fine. Don't judge his words or principles by the clothes you see him standing in.
He sure is an inspiring kid, and a great speaker, but I would be careful throwing around the term "genius" so easily. Most people who score perfect scores on the ACTs/SATs probably aren't geniuses. And being able to speak well probably has no correlation whatsoever to genius. Possibly even a negative correlation, as introverts are generally worse speakers and there are statistically significantly more introvert geniuses than extrovert geniuses. Just sayin'
Get the guys point but seriously this video has been posted on every single message board, facebook post, blog, etc. Overkill!
